## Manipur Sees Lifting of Mobile Internet Ban After Three Weeks
**Host:** Welcome back to the show. We’re following the developing story out of Manipur, where the government has lifted a three-week ban on mobile internet services in nine districts. Joining me now to discuss this is Dr. Anjali Singh, a political science professor specializing in Northeast India. Dr. Singh, thanks for being here.
**Dr. Singh:** My pleasure. It’s good to be here.
**Host:** Can you give us some context on why the internet ban was initially imposed and what led to its lifting?
**Dr. Singh:** Certainly. The internet ban was imposed in response to escalating tensions and violence in Manipur. The state government cited concerns about the spread of misinformation and inflammatory content online, which they believed was further inflaming the situation. However, after three weeks, the government, likely after reviewing the security situation and facing pressure from various quarters, has decided to lift the ban.

**Host:** Clearly, the internet ban had a significant impact on the daily lives of people in Manipur. What are your thoughts on the balance between security concerns and the right to access information?
**Dr. Singh:** It’s a complex issue with no easy answers. While I understand the government’s concerns about maintaining law and order, shutting down the internet should always be a last resort. Access to information is a fundamental right, and the internet plays a crucial role in education, commerce, and civic engagement. Prolonged bans can have detrimental economic and social consequences.
**Host:** What are the potential implications of lifting the ban?
**Dr. Singh:** We hope that lifting the ban will lead to increased transparency and facilitate dialogue among various stakeholders. However, it remains to be seen whether this will lead to a de-escalation of tensions in the long term. It’s crucial for the government to work towards addressing the root causes of the unrest and fostering reconciliation.
**Host:** Dr. Singh, thank you for sharing your insights on this important issue.
**Dr. Singh:** It was my pleasure.
